For GDSII compatibility each region must have a single boundary e.g. No donuts, but 2 half donuts are ok. I've used LinkCAD to convert AutoCAD dxf to GDSII which automatically converts multiple bounded regions into single bounded regions. If the converter you're using doesn't do this you may have to create only single bounded regions in your AutoCAD drawing before doing the conversion. Roger Shile -----Original Message----- Hello all, Since we are in this conversion discussion, I have a problem and was wondering if anyone encountered this problem. I have created some complex shapes using the concept of regions in Autocad. When I convert the design using PGSort, all the design gets converted except the regions. Does anyone have an idea of converting these regions into gds/gl1 format? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Pavan
